About this place
Nestled in the heart of Alella, one of the most charming villages in Maresme, this unique penthouse spans 68m². Situated on the third and top floor of a character building constructed in 1961, its prime location allows residents to enjoy village life with all services readily available.
This exceptional penthouse features a layout that includes two bedrooms, with one generously sized room that can easily be divided to create a third space if desired. The home also boasts a complete bathroom with a shower, and an open kitchen that flows into the living-dining area, creating a functional and welcoming daily life space.
The property has been recently refurbished and is in excellent condition, with significant upgrades including complete insulation of the exterior walls and roof, ensuring notable thermal comfort throughout the year.

Buying property in Spain
Spain welcomes foreign buyers with no nationality restrictions. The buyer needs an NIE (Número de Identidad de Extranjero) before completion, and most buyers open a Spanish bank account to handle the deposit and ongoing charges. An independent lawyer (abogado) is strongly recommended — the notario only checks the deed, not the wider title.
Spain ended its Golden Visa property route in April 2025.
Non-resident mortgages are widely available, typically 60–70% LTV.
Non-resident sellers face a 3% withholding from the sale price (retención), claimable against capital gains tax.
Always check community-of-owners (comunidad) debts and outstanding IBI before completion — they transfer with the property.
General guidance only — confirm specifics with a qualified local lawyer or tax adviser. Reference
